Things to note
1. Dress Comfortably
Rabat is a mix of modern and traditional, so it’s good to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious or historical sites. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as you’ll be exploring a variety of terrains, from the Medina's narrow streets to coastal paths.
2. Stay Hydrated
Rabat can get warm, especially in the summer months, so be sure to bring a bottle of water. There are plenty of cafés and spots where you can take a break and enjoy Moroccan mint tea.
3. Respect Local Customs
Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country, so it’s respectful to be mindful of local customs, particularly during prayer times. When visiting mosques or religious sites like the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, ensure you follow dress codes (cover shoulders and knees) and avoid loud conversations.
4. Bring Local Currency (Dirhams)
While many places accept credit cards, especially in the modern parts of the city, it’s helpful to have some Moroccan Dirhams (MAD) on hand for smaller purchases, local markets, and taxis.
5. Explore Beyond the Main Sights
While landmarks like the Hassan Tower and Kasbah of the Udayas are must-see spots, encourage your guests to also explore Rabat’s hidden gems, like the Chellah’s gardens or a stroll along the Bouregreg River.
6. Stay Safe
Rabat is a relatively safe city, but like any popular tourist destination, it’s good to be aware of your surroundings and keep your personal belongings secure, especially in crowded areas like the Medina.
7. Enjoy the Local Cuisine
Encourage your guests to try traditional Moroccan dishes like couscous, tagine, and pastilla at local restaurants or street food stalls. They should also experience mint tea, a Moroccan staple.
8. Be Prepared for Language Differences
Arabic and French are the main languages spoken in Rabat. While many people in the tourist areas speak English, it’s helpful to know a few basic French phrases or even some Arabic greetings to enhance their experience.
9. Use Taxis or Walking for Short Distances
Most of Rabat’s major attractions are close to each other, so walking is a great way to explore the city. Taxis are also a convenient option for slightly longer distances, and they’re affordable. Make sure to ask the driver to use the meter or agree on a price beforehand.
10. Check Opening Hours
Some historical sites and museums may have specific opening hours, especially on Fridays (a holy day in Morocco), so it’s always good to check in advance to avoid disappointment.
